The market for dental equipment and supplies is relatively small, with a total spend of about R5.5 million. Unfortunately, it's not growing, with zero year-on-year growth, which might make it a challenging space to enter. It's also a fairly exclusive market, with only 2 suppliers currently serving the single department that buys these products. Your B-BBEE level could be an advantage here, especially if you're a black-owned, women-owned, or youth-owned business, as the government has allocated around 31%, 14%, and 15% of the budget to these groups respectively. If I were you, I'd focus on building relationships with the single department buying these products, as getting a foothold with them could be a key to success in this market.
